In one example, the thickness of the film on the inner wall of the process chamber of the semiconductor machine may be set to 10000 nm.
In one example, the detection device may be used to automatically detect the condition of the semiconductor tool in the process chamber in real time (e.g., the detection device may be used to detect the number of particles in the process chamber and the thickness of the film on the inner wall of the process chamber) to ensure that the abnormality of the semiconductor tool can be detected in time.
In one example, a process chamber of a semiconductor tool may be cleaned using a Material Management (MM) system; specifically, when the semiconductor machine is in a condition requiring cleaning, the production material and machine management system triggers the cleaning process, and the cleaning module 11 in the previous embodiment performs the cleaning process on the process chamber.

Of course, when the semiconductor machine is in the equipment maintenance state, the machine state of the semiconductor machine does not need to be switched, as shown in fig. 4.
In one example, the cleaning process includes cleaning (clean), purging (purge), or pre-deposition, etc. of the process chamber of the semiconductor tool. Specifically, the cleaning includes Auto dry cleaning (Auto dry cleaning). The cleaning process performed on the process chamber of the semiconductor machine can restore the environmental status of the process chamber to the environmental status required by the normal process, such as the number of particles in the process chamber is below the threshold value and the film thickness on the inner wall of the process chamber is below the threshold value.
In one example, a process chamber that is abnormal in a semiconductor tool is cleaned and a test preparation command is sent to a manufacturing department to inform the manufacturing department of preparing a test wafer (monitor wafer); specifically, a machine testing preparation instruction can be sent to a manufacturing department based on a short message platform, a mailbox or an instant communication tool, and the manufacturing department can be informed of preparing a machine testing wafer in the form of short messages or mails and the like; more specifically, the production materials and equipment Management system establishes a virtual ID (identity document) of the process chamber for cleaning, binds the virtual ID to an AMS (alarm Management system), and sends an email based on the AMS to inform the manufacturing part that the cleaning process is started to prepare the manufacturing part for testing the wafer. The manufacturing part is informed to prepare the test wafer while the cleaning treatment is carried out, so that the manufacturing part can prepare the test wafer in advance, the testing machine can be carried out at the first time after the cleaning treatment is finished, and the working efficiency is improved; the manufacturing part is informed of the preparation of the test wafer in the form of short message or mail, so that the whole process can be automated, the labor and the time are greatly saved, and the misoperation is avoided.
In one example, the semiconductor machine is in a post-equipment maintenance condition, a downtime condition, or a process chamber exception condition after the cleaning process and before the cleaning process; that is, the status of the semiconductor tool is automatically switched to a machine under test status when the semiconductor is in a post-equipment maintenance condition, a downtime condition, or a process chamber abnormal condition before the cleaning process, and the cleaning process is finished, for example, the status of the semiconductor tool is automatically switched to a machine under test status when the status of the semiconductor tool is equipment maintenance or downtime (PM/DWN) and includes "AT _ XXX", where "XXX" is the name of the type (cleaning, purging, or pre-deposition) that the process chamber is cleaned.
In one example, the condition of the semiconductor machine is switched to the machine testing condition, and simultaneously, the machine testing instruction is sent to a manufacturing department; after the machine testing instruction is sent, the following steps are also included: and testing the semiconductor machine, and releasing the semiconductor machine after the testing is finished.
In one example, a machine testing preparation instruction can be sent to a manufacturing department based on a short message platform, a mailbox or an instant messaging tool, namely the manufacturing department can be informed of the machine testing preparation instruction in the form of a short message or a mail; specifically, a production material and tool management system may be used to inform the manufacturing department that testing may be performed. Specifically, the testing machine is also called a warm-up machine, which is to process a wafer of the testing machine by using a process chamber before the production of processing the product wafer, so that the environment of the process chamber meets the environmental requirement for processing the product wafer.
